Description

1936 50C Oregon MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: JFS Collection. Glimpses of honey and peach-gold patina visit the upper obverse border and the lower reverse margin, while the remainder of this exquisite Superb Gem exhibits faint sky-blue and apricot-gray colors. The shimmering surfaces are remarkably undisturbed, and the strike is exceptionally sharp even on areas that are usually weak, such as the back of the covered wagon and the second T in STATES. The present piece is the single finest 1936 Oregon Trail half certified by PCGS (6/09), and as such, it is of high importance to the Registry collector.
From The Louis Bassano Collection of U.S. Commemoratives.(Registry values: N2998)
